Literature

Cf. cat. Sammlung Hoffmeister, vol. II, Hamburg 1999, no. 348, for a smaller dish from the service. Since August Friedrich von Seydewitz (1696 - 1775) was only raised to the rank of Imperial Count in 1743 and was allowed to bear this coat of arms, Dieter Hoffmeister already assumed that most of the service pieces should be dated later, even if they bear early drehers' marks (p. 610).
